Topics I've Started

Thought I'd start a thread for people trialling Lion, with already working hardware, in an effort to find out what series/models of cards are compatible, have full resolution, full QE/QI acceleration, and what's needed to get them to work as such.

ATI/AMD CardsHD 4000 SeriesATI HD 4870 512 ram; With Graphics Enabler works grate on Lion 11A459e. The strange thing is that it thinks that I have an additional VGA display connected on my second port. This did not happen in previews builds.

HD5000 SeriesHD5670 ASUS works without any injectorHD5770 1GB sapphire works without any injectorHD5770 fully working without injector (in DP1... not tested since)HD5850 1GB Sapphire Vapor-X works without any injector

HD6000 SeriesXFX 6870 100% working including the mini Display Port use GraphicsEnabler=Yes

Thanks for checking out this thread, i'm hoping it'll attract some people that are familiar with messing with DSDT, as i've tried (for MONTHS) to nail this laptop in every aspect!. I've currently got

CPU both cores (worked OOB)GeForce 8600M (GraphicsEnabler=yes, but also injection and EFI strings works but disallows sleep)USB (Full speed)Wifi (Dell 1390 card I've replaced the original with, detected as a native card)Audio (Sigmatel STAC chipset with a recent VoodooHDA version)Firewire (Pretty sure this is still working, it did when i tested it last using a Focusrite Sapphire audio interface)

Also tried turning off any wifi etc from BIOS level, and still no joy. Only thing i can see, that stands out, that may be the problem, is the Serial-ATA (in system profiler) says Intel ICH8-M ACHI ?

Pretty much decided I may have to delve into the world of DSDT editing!If anyone has any other suggestions, i'd be intrigued to try, I'm pretty much spent in ideas as to resolve this sleep issue (damned perfectionists!)

Footnotes: Made sure that NullCPUManagement is NOT running when trying to utilize SleepEnabler, and pmVersion=20 set, also tried removing AppleHPET too without success in sleeping

I remember downloading, a while ago, can't remember what it was called, or where from, i swear there was a tinyurl (which is now redirecting elsewhere), something along the lines of tinyurl.com/snow1 or /snow2.

Which is ok for most things, but I remember the tool in question, that was completely terminal driven, that allowed you to easily edit information such as bus speeds, FSB speeds, As well as processor etc etc.

My Vostro 1700 is coming up with some false information, which, being a perfectionist, I want to have read correctly.

I'm not new to the whole osx86 thing, but for some quite strange reason i'm unsure of, using a DSDT I generated (perhaps wrongly?) for the laptop, it actually breaks trackpad & keyboard (before DSDT patching they're fine).

^ ALL of the above works fine but when i generate a DSDT (using Snow OSX Universal to generate a 20KB DSDT.aml) and bodge a quick `UserDSDT` install using ##### ( http://tonymacx86.bl...stallation.html ) Everything still works fine, but keyboard and trackpad are broken! - All kexts i've installed to try Kludge the install either fail, or the mouse sensitivity is too strong, and completely uncontrollable!

Any advice on more 'correct' DSDT patching would be appreciated, as the DSDT patch, at the very LEAST does allow correct restart/shutdown (Sleep untested)

Thanks for reading <3

EDIT: I have noticed that not only does the DSDT break the trackpad and keyboard, but also kext installs(fakesmc, ev0reboot, null cpu management), although i'm not sure which breaks it, I'm narrowing down possibilities
